A Heart Of Ice: Forged In Steel

Lender has spent twelve years wandering the world of Asterra alone, surviving on instinct, impossible reserves of mana, and weapons he can forge from ice itself. He avoids kingdoms, titles, and attachments whenever possible. It is easier that way, especially when the past still follows him wherever he goes. Then he meets Stella. A blacksmith’s daughter turned fighter, Stella is stubborn, fearless, and far too willing to stand between innocent people and whatever wants them dead. She also remembers Lender from the worst night of his life. As chance keeps throwing them together, irritation becomes trust, trust becomes something far more dangerous, and Lender begins to discover that protecting people feels very different when one of them matters to him. But demons are appearing across Asterra, and they are beginning to hunt Lender specifically. With Prince Aeric and his companions caught in the growing conflict, cities burning, old loyalties tested, and powerful enemies determined to remove Lender from their world, Stella and Lender are drawn into a war neither of them expected. Lender can create almost any weapon from magic. The one thing he has never learned how to protect, is his own heart. A Famtasy Romance with much magic in the story.
